A Framework for Evaluating Geomagnetic Indices Forecasting Models by Armando Collado‐Villaverde, Pablo Muñoz, Consuelo Cid

“…To operationalize the evaluation framework, a comparative study is conducted between a baseline neural network model and a persistence model, showcasing the effectiveness of the new metric in evaluating forecasting performance during intense geomagnetic storms. Finally, we propose the use of preliminary measurements from ACE to evaluate the model performance in settings closer to an operational real‐time scenario, where the forecasting models are expected to operate.…”

Differential Impact of Climate Change and Human Activities on Runoff Changes in the Upper Reaches of the Yellow River by LI Fang, ZENG Biao, LI Xungui, SHEN Yanqi

“…The results show that the evaluation indexes R² and NSE of five hydrological stations are all larger than 0.8.During the study period,the runoff changes in the source area of the YR were generally insignificant,and the runoff downstream declined earlier and more obviously than that upstream.The change in runoff in the middle section of the YR from 1986 to 2005 was affected by both climate change and human activities.After 2005,human activities were the leading factor for the reduction of runoff.The runoff changes in the lower part of the YR from 1986 to 1995 were jointly affected by climate change and human activities.The gradual strengthening of human activities was the main cause of runoff changes after 1995.The rapid development of industry,agriculture and urban agglomerations and the successive construction of hydropower stations have led to a change in the differential driving characteristics of runoff changes from “climate control” in the base period to “co-control by climate change and human activities” and finally to “dominant human activities.”…”
